Oh my God... after those 4 episodes... just imagine mega pearl/or both pearls in general developing an unhealthy obsession with reader.
Ah. ❤️❤️ (also can I just mention how much I adore their design?)
Both VB and Pearl had already lost the same person before, so it was only natural that they would fall for the same person again. The second they laid eyes on you, they seperately knew they had to get closer to you.
Both pearls met you at different points in time, Pearl had known you for a while, never scrounging up the courage to speak to you, whilst VB had only started seeing you around in the past year. Both harboured minor obsessions for you, how could they not? Not when you reminded them so much of what they’d lost. Both were equally determined to not lose you again.
When BP went to Steven for help with her crack, you asked if there was any way you could help, and although Steven said that that was unlikely, BP was quick to request that you stay, just in case. Steven decided that the best course of action was to go to Pearl for help, who mentioned the Shell, a place for pearls in need of repair.
It was decided the best course of action was to take the warp pad to the Shell, in hopes getting VB’s eye fixed somehow. Upon arrival, you couldn’t help but marvel at the architecture, it was built specifically to prevent any sea water penetrating the thick shell, and it seemed the only way of getting in and out was via the warp pad. The four of you made your way through the building, stopping now and then to point out anything interesting. Luckily the Shell recognised Steven as Pink Diamond, and allowed all of you entrance.
Throughout your exploration of the building, you couldn’t help but notice VB and Pearl’s frequent stares at you, gazing at you whilst a bright shade of pink or teal and more often than not biting down on their lower lip, turning away whenever they noticed you making eye contact. There was a point when they started noticing each other’s line of sight, looks of distrust and unease crossing their faces. You considered pointing all this out to Steven, but he seemed engrossed in finding a solution to the current problem at hand.
“No, no, no! Shell stop it!” Steven hammered against the clam shell keeping Pearl and VB imprisoned, yells of protest bouncing off as the Shell began send lines of electricity up and down the two pearls, ignoring your cries of objection as you and Steven struggled to make it cease the rejuvenation process. “Oh.” Steven took a couple steps back behind you, as cracks started to appear in the shell, breaking apart into small shards as a tall silhouette of light rose up above the two of you.
“WARNING. UNAUTHORISED ENTITY FOUND WITHIN THE FACILITY, DEFENSE PROTOCAL ACTIVATED.” Dozens of vine-like tendrils extended from the walls of the room, reaching out to attack the fusion standing before you. Without hesitation, the fusion seized it’s weapon from it’s gem, tearing each one apart with one rapid manoeuvre. Swiftly, she gently picked up you and Steven off of the floor, and elegantly danced and dodged her way past all of the building’s security measures, hurling her weapon through several layers of it to send Steven through after, and shielding you from harm with her arm as she slid to the ground, a look of utter adoration on her face as she studied your curled up form. In that moment, she decided that two heads were better than one. After all, it was so much easier to protect you this way, and what else was she supposed to do but protect and love you? Especially when the end result was this, the love of her life huddled in her embrace.
